According to court papers – obtained by News 3 – Frye stopped at the Suffolk Police Department a few hours after the shooting - not to turn himself in - but to ask if he had active warrants in an accident he was involved in. Hours later police arrested Frye.
Thursday morning in court, News 3 learned Frye and Frazier have a child together.
Frye is expected to be back in court for a preliminary hearing in September.
